- Despite a year of economic difficulty, almost 50% of people surveyed are more positive about 2014 than they were for 2013;
- US, Canada and Australia are the countries where most people would like to live if they could;
- US is considered to be the greatest threat to peace in the world, followed by Pakistan and China;
- Over a third of those surveyed believe the world would be a better place if there were more female politicians;
- Now in its 37th year WIN/Gallup International End of Year Survey finds that since 1989 people in general have a more positive outlook on economic prosperity for the coming year.
US - really the biggest threat?
The US was the overwhelming choice (24% of respondents) for the country that represents the greatest threat to peace in the world today. This was followed by Pakistan (8%), China (6%), North Korea, Israel and Iran (5%). Respondents in Russia (54%), China (49%) and Bosnia (49%) were the most fearful of the US as a threat.
These results show that although the US is widely regarded as posing the greatest threat to peace, it is, paradoxically, still the most desired country to live in. This could show that for many of the people surveyed across the globe it appears that the notion of the ‘American Dream’ is still alive.
